Updates

The automatic updates of Panda Internet Security 2010 are carried out every

the Virus Signature File, which allows the program to recognize all known

viruses and threats and keep your computer protected against them.

Once the product has been activated, it will automatically update without you

having to do a thing.

Protection against known threats: viruses, Trojans, spyware...

Panda Internet Security 2010 detects and eliminates all types of known

malicious software that could reach or leave your computer through any

means (email, Internet downloads, le sharing, etc.).

Protection against unknown threats

Thanks to the innovative TruPrevent Technologies, Panda Internet Security

2010 detects and blocks suspicious threats whose features have not yet been

completely determined.

Firewall protection

The personal rewall blocks unauthorized access to your computer while you

are connected to the Internet or a local network. When a program on your

computer tries to access the Internet (or vice versa) without authorization,

Panda Internet Security 2010 will warn you about this and offer you the option

to allow or deny this action.

Identity protection

With Panda Internet Security 2010 you are protected against the most

common Internet fraud: redirecting of phone connections to premium-rate

numbers, unauthorized transmission of condential information, and access to

Web pages controlled by fraudsters.
